Consultations

What room of the home / business do you need help with?
What activities are done in the room? (ex. eating, sleeping, working, etc.)
What mood would you like to portray in the room? (ex. relaxation, energy, warmth, etc.)
Is there a particular object in the room that you love and would like to pull colors from? (ex. area rug, vase, window treatment, etc.)
What is the focal point of the room? (ex. bed, fireplace, window, etc.)
Would you be interested in a faux finish or plaster finish?

According to these questions, we will then come up with a color and design plan according to your needs. Put your worries at ease and leave all the hard work up to us.

Color Consultation

Choosing the right colors for your walls can be a challenging and intimidating process. Mona will be happy to help put you at ease. Here are the things that are taken into consideration: lighting in the room, furniture and accessories, adjoining room color, color balance & flow, style, taste, and budget. You do not need to hire us to do the painting if you want to do it yourself. But it would be a good idea to have someone come in who can lead you in the right direction to tie the rooms together. The charge is $35 per room.

Faux Finish Consultation

Artist & decorative painter Mona Piper will meet with you to discuss the many options for faux finishes, paint color, and design. The fee is $35 per room. During this meeting, if we have not already, we will inform you of the cost estimate of the job you are requesting. A consultation can take between 1 - 2 hours depending on how many rooms you want to have painted.

Mural Consultation

Artist & decorative painter Mona Piper will gather all the information necessary in order to work on the preliminary design and research for the desired mural. On average it takes 2-3 hours in order to plan and design a hand painted mural. The consultation / design fee will be $50. This will include any internet research, rough drawings (if necessary), and the on-site meeting. During this meeting we will give you an estimated cost of the mural you are requesting. There will be an extra charge if detailed drawings or paintings on canvas are desired.

Sample Boards

If you choose a faux or plaster finish, doing a sample board is a must. When choosing color, it is difficult to know how it will actually turn out on the surface of what you are painting. A faux finish is NOT a straight paint color. We use various colors and glazes in order to achieve the desired finish. Each sample provided is approximately 16" x 16". The cost per sample is $25, plus the cost of the paint. Average cost per quart is $12 unless it is available in smaller sizes. Additional samples are only $15. The samples & formulas will be kept by Mona Piper and will not be given out to anyone under any circumstances.

Pricing

Pricing is based on many factors. The basic break down is hours, materials, and travel expenses. We will quote you an estimated price during the consultation. This price is subject to change depending on circumstances that may require more time or supplies. Keep in mind that a faux finish can be much more than the price of a regular painting job because there is much more time and work involved.

Reserving a Date

If you choose to hire us on the day of the initial consultation, we will reduce the final price by $50 - $100, depending on the size of the job. In order to get into the calendar, you will need to provide a 25% non-refundable deposit.
